2. The Assistance Provided by the Cheonan Divorce Attorney

The Cheonan divorce attorney consulted with the client and developed a strategy.

Counsel emphasized that responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage lay with the wife, who was the plaintiff, and that she also lacked any willingness to raise the child, and requested that the client be designated as the holder of parental authority and as the custodian.

The Cheonan Divorce Attorney's Argument | The Cause of the Breakdown of the Marriage

Despite enduring all manner of disregard and insults from the plaintiff's mother, the client had done his utmost to keep the family together.

Counsel also emphasized that, although not affluent, the client had made efforts to ensure that nothing was lacking in the rearing of the child and in married life, and argued that responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage lay with the plaintiff.

The Cheonan Divorce Attorney's Argument | The Client's Efforts in Rearing the Child

The client had done his utmost to raise the child.

Counsel argued that the client kept a childcare journal every single day without fail and, with the help of a family member who had majored in early childhood education, was raising the child smoothly in an environment that lacked nothing.

The Cheonan Divorce Attorney's Argument | The Plaintiff's Postpartum Depression

The plaintiff and the client are currently separated.

During the period of separation, the plaintiff did not once come to see the child or make any contact, and instead refused the client's calls.

Counsel argued that the plaintiff was currently suffering from postpartum depression and had no willingness to raise the child.

3. The Result of the Cheonan Divorce Attorney's Assistance, "Won"

Accepting the Cheonan divorce attorney's arguments, the court dismissed part of the plaintiff's claim and designated the client as the holder of parental authority and as the custodian.

The client thereby avoided the risk of having to pay a substantial sum of consolation money, preserved custody, and concluded the divorce suit with a favorable judgment.
